[Music]

[Music]
what do I think about when they see me
one in efe
a poor disabled person
an example of life
what do you feel when you see me
in the sensitized comb
I would get in the look
if they never had contact with any
person with a disability
Nice to meet you I’m Lukas Aranis
better known as hood I am a journalist
that extends the degree of
administration and I’m working to
an international company
as you will see my disability is only
I did not choose physics but I do not complain
is that I am one of the people who think
that all life has one so that more
that a why
personally I take a lot to my
family for not saying everything they are my
dad I give my mom’s mom and then
come my two brothers Pablo and Tomás
as it seems a breeding with all
brother
we play physical games in which I
I always lost because for them I am
just did not have any advantage is because
that I would like at some point
find the aladdin lamp and one
would be to ask for common wishes and if
It would not be to ask for two wishes
especially the first one that makes me a
muscular body for even a
only time to beat them in these games
physical to my brothers and in second
place is not silver that puts all this
muscular body and locked with the voice not
it may be that this body is being
brother and this whistling voice the truth that
did not grow
It’s from very young guys they left me very
Of course it would be difficult for me to return to
walk and little by little but in the
tools so they can help me
develop as one more always leaving
well clear that the study will be the
fundamental tool to match
opportunities both the primary and the
secondary I did it in normal schools
he did not go to any special school in
these institutions in addition to learning
I started meeting my first friends and
discover my love for the sport that
to this day they continue to mark me
it all started with football in the
recesses like everything baby I wanted to play
football and know that not only played
football on many occasions was the
my team’s scorer because the play
was that a partner overflowed and I
will enter from 9 taking me as a
bulldozer all put and that way
put the goal
This love for sport continues
time later when at basque in chair
of wheels in doubt disabled united
sciences’ and currently continues to
rahue personally for me is a style
of life
although in life not everything is sport there
to study so in 2012 I started is
create a degree in administration in
the national university of the south
I am currently in the third year of the
five who have the race
and I still have to travel a lot
long although it was hard for me to get there
up here and I’m not going to give up so easy
at the time and there was a proposal for a
time of my best friends
to start studying journalism is
focused on sports
and I was not at my best in the
study but that’s where I felt that was what
what I wanted to do and that it was time to
do it so I said to myself and I
we got in a few months later
is that a proposal came to start
an internship something totally
new to me because there was never
worked at that time I had to
early to meet new colleagues
I work a boss and to answer and a
schedule which fulfill something totally
new to me but I saw it as a
apt challenge here to my friend there is that
allow to be as a person so
I said list let’s go forward in that
increase I made many sacrifices
efe to see series of gel to plane something
that I love the only thing that I did not say
nap of straight sacrifice everything and in addition
I have free time on weekends
there that covered my rugby team
Argentine so I spent the whole weekend
week includes Monday back to
through studying and working the year
past was wonderful to me
I make a clarification do not add anything else anymore
with both careers and work is
short is more
As always I lacked time
but in the context because that’s how I
distinguished as one of the ten young people
outstanding of her the country because
understood that my story
that can serve as motivation to
other people when facing the
lifetime
this for me was wonderful because I
He asked to spread my story and what this
and apart this repercussion caused things
incredible and personally this award
fire is special also for me because
I see it as an acknowledgment to all
the people who were behind me and
they never let me fall because in shape
tourist attitude and will and if not
I have my family my friends who
they were and they are always there
achieved nothing of what I did so far
but in my part, they know me a little more
I have one of the so-called
rare diseases that is called
fibrous dysplasia
is that they discovered me a year and a half
they expect fracture and from there
I give us started treating me in the hospital
Garraham in Buenos Aires and basically
what is that new fact are very
weak and tend to deform a fall
mine is almost certainly a break
also since I was 8 years old I’m in a chair
wheel
personally I do not deny the
disability because I consider myself a
happy person, the only thing that costs me
accept me when I look in the mirror and
they will ask why because I see things that
I do not have body deal and in that
I have a hard time accepting myself but at
final as I love myself and I finish
the sector equal
the session was never an impediment
you were on the beach you in the snow and this
at sporting events that in this
sports that were not adapted all
it is a matter of will and will if
They listened well to my will and will
will to go and the will and the
person to accompany me to
take me
day by day the most usual things for
you
in case of petra they form in my little ones
daily challenges getting out of bed and
to the bathroom to change are some of my
little daily challenges or tell them
go buy for the corner or take me
a taxi is a matter of looking for the way
to
25 years ago I have been traveling a path
in which there are stars that
transforming my disability into one of
my virtues is not an easy way
because you’ve never finished it before
that you are learning day by day but the
life is so precious that I was going to try
the minute minutes along this
way I realized how to put the
chest to a disability plus I
mind that everything is a matter of me and of
my attitude to others this
learning took me time because this
I had to learn to know myself
from that signature on myself all the time
and never settle personally for
me disability is not a weakness
it is strength wisdom and constancy for
learn to live day by day
I enjoy the day because I learned to
know myself and because I learned to
Enjoy the small moments at full
if I could overcome different situations
that were many and to say and
different type but at the same time I know
that there are things that I can not do but yes
I know there are others that I can do and
there are many
you who are there, surely you have your
problems but also how I dream and
agus I want to ask what is the
challenge that you will face from
tomorrow to get this dream
thank you very much
